Looks like Miley Cyrus will soon have another boyfriend because according to several reports she has been texting Kings of Leon’s bassist, Jared Followill, since they first met at the EMA’s last November.
Hollywood life reports that Miley has apparently been trying to keep him interested but instead of sending full on slutty text messages, I’m kind of shocked actually, she is being coy. She is 18-years-old and he is 24-years-old. A friend of Jared’s said:
“Miley wants to keep Jared interested. She often sends him coy text messages. So far, he is a big fan of what she has been sending. He’s such a fan, in fact, he’s been bragging to his friends about her texts! “Jared loves showing off his texts from Miley. He thinks she’s very pretty and is excited she’s still flirting with him.”
Meanwhile while Miley isn’t trying to find her next dude to latch on to she is getting into fights with members of the paparazzi. While out to lunch with her mom, Tish Cyrus, one of the paps hit Tish with a camera and this didn’t go down too well with Miley. Watch for yourself.
I have to say good for Miley on this one, on top of defending her mother she also gave me a good laugh watching htis video. I love the part when she warns him not to do it again as if she would beat his ass down.
Nicole Richie has slammed X17 and their photographers in a new open letter on her website after the paparazzi were at her daughter’s school. Here is what she wrote…
Dear X17,
THANK YOU so much for posting the video of your employees sitting outside of my daughter’s school, because now the entire world can see how creepy and disgusting you are.
You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking young children. You think that’s ok?
Here’s a better visual: Pulling up to school and seeing grown men slouched in black windowed cars outside of a preschool, all day. I’m not even there, so you cannot say you are following me as you always do. You are stalking the children. Now how do you feel?
I PROMISE YOU that I am going to do a background check on each and every person that I see there. For the safety of my children and others. Because the last time I did a check on your staff, I found they had no license. Remember that day? The day that ended with a car accident and me in a hospital? You, x17, better be pretty confident in your actions, and feel really good about what you are doing. If I find out anyone has a suspended, restricted or invalid license, I will have them thrown in jail before they can pick up the phone and call their lawyers.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. These are young children and you should know better. X17, you are irresponsible and repulsive. Consider this a warning.
Nicole Richie
Her fiance Joel Madden also wrote this on his Twitter, “I’ve learned a lot of self control & acceptance. Still never gonna be ok with grown men creeping outside schools. Gotta do what i can do.”
That’s what I can never understand how these celebrities keep their cool whenever a photographer is in the face of their children. If it was me I would smash the camera in their face.
Not about her new romantic comedy ‘Going the Distance’ and not about working with on-again, off-again beau Justin Long. In fact, she went off about a reporter who’d just interviewed her!
“You should have heard this bitch I had to do an interview with before you. God, I wanted to punch her, she would just not drop the youth thing. I have no problem talking about it. I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons,” she recalled to the London Daily Standard.
The actress continued, “It’s actually good to get it done young and have a great life later. But yeah, man, I wanted to rip this woman’s face off. She just would not shut up about it.”
Barrymore never names the reporter or the publication that asked the probing questions. Quick note to self: keep “wild child” questions to a minimum next time we interview Ms. Barrymore.
Sean Penn has plead no contest to a charge of vandalism stemming from his October ragefest against the paparazzi, when he was videotaped kicking a photographer, Jordan Dawes. He was originally charged with vandalism and battery, but the battery was dropped today.
I have no idea where the vandalism comes from, unless Penn’s shoe left a scuff mark on the groin area of the photog’s pants. It didn’t look like he touched the man’s camera, but hey… whatever.
The angry little Oscar winner was sentenced to three years of informal probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service. Those hours can be completed through Penn’s earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti.
He was also ordered to undergo 36 hours of anger management counseling and stay 100 yards away from the photographer.
That’s a hell of a lot better than the 18 months in jail he could have faced for the battery charge.

Lindsay Lohan was spotted heading to the airport in Milan after she attended a fashion show as part of Milan Fashion Week, she must have been annoyed because she threw a can of red bull out the window at them.
I don’t know why she would just randomly throw a can of red bull at them, maybe they were making some kind of comments or she just had a bad nights sleep or something.
I’m not even going to talk about why she is throwing, what I am going to talk about is how there is no way in hell that is just red bull, she is obviously mixing some kind of alcohol in there. I drink red bull all the time, even though it doesn’t give me wings or energy – false advertising, and it is more of a pissy yellow color than red.
Also, I’m sure the Italians appreciate Lindsay Lohan going to their country and just throwing shit around.

40 years after the pictures showing President Kennedy‘s widow Jackie Onassis sunbathing naked the paparazzo who took them is finally revealing how he got the photos.
There has always been a huge mystery as to how Settimio Garritano, the Italian paparazzo, managed to get the photographs of Jackie sunbathing on a private Greek island. Jackie’s second husband Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping mogul, owned the private island of Skorpios so the former First Lady was free to do what ever she wanted.
The paparazzo heard rumors that she sunbathed naked on the beaches so he says that he managed to befriend one of the locals on the island and he then disguised himself as a gardener, when he knew that she was off sunbathing he took a boat out and hid himself which is when he seen her naked, speaking about it he says…
“It didn’t seem possible. She knew she’d been photographed before on Scorpios so why would she display herself? Then suddenly she appeared and wandered around the patio area. I concentrated on just taking the pictures, not composing them. It was a matter of moments, not even minutes.”
After taking the pictures he says that most editors refused to publish the photos until 1972 when Italian magazine Playmen put them in their magazine, they eventually published in the United States three years later in 1985 when Hustler put them in.
Aristotle Onassis at the time said that he didn’t care about the photographs and both he and Jackie Onassis take their clothes off to put on a bathing suit. Settimio Garritano is apparently looking to auction off the legendary images.

Mel Gibson has attacked a fan during a night out partying at a club in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 28.
Hollyscoop claims the actor was seen arriving at Playhouse to celebrate the venue’s grand opening party with the companion of pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and a group of people.
Inside the hot spot, Mel and his companion sat on the VIP booth. It was during the time that a reporter of Life and Style magazine posing as a fan tried to snap a picture of him and Oksana. His security quickly took the camera from the unidentified female reporter and deleted the pictures.
However, she didn’t give up that easily and sent her male friend to take another picture of Mel and his entourage. His action pissed Mel off, so he immediately “stepped in and attacked the clubgoer because he was fed up with everyone trying to snap a photo of him partying.” Hollyscoop quoted its source as stating,
“Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt.”
While the attacked-clubgoer is said attempting to pursue legal action against Mel, neither the movie star nor his camp has issued a statement regarding the matter.
Madonna appeared physically unhurt Sunday, but her weekend horseback tumble in the Hamptons left her ego bruised.
Madonna was approached on the beach, where she relaxed in a bizarre ensemble that included a quilted, black Chanel jacket, baggy turquoise sweatpants and a fedora. She asked,
“Are you the guys that spooked my horse?”
Assured that she was not looking at the paparazzi who may have startled her horse at celeb shutterbug Steven Klein’s farm, Madonna politely posed for pictures outside the Atlantic Double Dunes beach in Amagansett.
The 50-year-old pop star was asked how she was doing after a night recuperating at pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s estate.
“Better,” she replied.
Madonna’s camp claims her prior encounter with a photographer didn’t go quite so nicely.
Spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg claimed her superstar client was thrown when a photog jumped out of a patch of bushes and startled her horse, sending her flying.
But freelance photographer Thomas Hinton claims he played no role in Madonna’s mishap – a position supported by the Southampton Village Police Department.
Hinton told The News he shot some frames of Madonna riding her horse about 3:50 p.m. Saturday, but took off soon after because he didn’t have a good vantage point.
Hinton returned more than 40 minutes later when he got tipped off that Madonna had had an accident, he says.
“I arrived more than 10 minutes after she fell, and I was shooting from the street. I don’t know what [Rosenberg] is talking about.”
Just like the title says, while out for dinner at Beso restaurant Jessica Simpson forgot to put some underwear on.
Which of course means the paparazzi got down on their hands and knees and went sraight up her dress to take these photographs.
Seriously how the hell did she not know someone was under her dress, or even yet why didn’t her boyfriend Tony Romo kick the living sh*t out of the paparazzi for taking pictures of Jessica Simpson‘s naked ass?
Lindsay Lohan is featured in the new issue of Interview magazine and I can’t help but think they are going for the vampire look in the photo shoot.
This is the same interview that Lindsay complains over not being getting the same career opportunities as Scarlett Johansson because “people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.’” even though she “works just as hard as any other actress around my age”
Lindsay also says “the worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn’t know how to focus, doesn’t know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party. And you know what? I was 20 years old. I never went to college. And I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong, and then I stopped. God forbid I should have ever learned my lesson.”
Other highlights of the interview include Lindsay saying the reason she started drugs was because she seeing somebody around her do them (she says it wasn’t her mother Dina Lohan, so she hints it was her father Michael Lohan).
Lauren Hutton, the former supermodel who gave the interview, suggests that Lindsay should just go away for a while to get some privacy but Lohan quickly shoots her down and says it is “impossible” to do that.
What’s funny about Lindsay saying it’s impossible is her example of getting away was when she and Samantha Ronson went to Dubai in November for the opening party of the Atlantis Palm Jumeirah hotel/resort, she says the paparazzi were lining outside her hotel.

My advice for Lindsay Lohan is, if she wants some privacy from the paparazzi then she should go somewhere that there isn’t a celebrity party going on or you know.. even stay in so she isn’t photographed. Maybe then directors and movie studios will take her seriously, but thats just my opinion.
While Jennifer Aniston admits to being technically challenged, she’s still wise to when someone’s secretly snapping her photo.

“My favorite move is when people pretend that they’re on the phone,” Aniston, 39, says in next Sunday’sThe New York Times Magazine, “and they kind of dial and take the picture at the same time. You hope they’re doing it for themselves – that they’re not thinking, ‘I’m going to dine out on you.’”
Yet the actress also admits to being in awe of the tech-savvy. “I’m really computer illiterate,” she says. “When I see people on their BlackBerrys, working them like some girls work a hairdryer, I’m just stunned. People have sent me clips from FunnyOrDie.com or YouTube, but I never seek it out.”

So don’t expect the Friends star to be friend-ing you on Facebook anytime soon. Asked if she uses the online social network, Aniston replies,
“It’s not for me. I’d be opening myself up too much. I don’t want to sound like a complete innocent – I’ve looked at things, of course. But it’s such spewing. If I look at it, I’ll be affected. It’s like dancing with the devil.”
What does the star like about the Digital Age: computer Scrabble and Wii.
Mischa Barton was not a happy camper last night when she pulled up to Bardot, where Ryan Gosling was deejaying inside.
The actress was upset at the group of paparazzi gathered by the valet stand in the parking lot. “Are they allowed inside here?” a noticeably annoyed Barton asked the valet before leaving.
But our question is, shouldn’t she be glad people are still taking her picture? After all, she hasn’t done much majorly visible work since her O.C. days, except design headbands, smoke a little pot and rack up a DUI.
Amy Winehouse has been pretty quiet lately but she is back on the streets again and that means the paparazzi better be aware.
The troubled singer was spotted leaving her home in Camden, London, earlier today and didn’t take too kindly to the paparazzi, she took a swing at some of them before jumping in the back of a cab.
Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been released from jail, but he is reportedly going straight to a rehab center in Surrey.
While I wish she would get some help. I sure did miss the daily crazy.
Jessica Simpson‘s rep has confirmed the singer’s hairstylist Ken Paves was rushed to the hospital early Sunday morning after being injured by paparazzi.
According to TMZ.com, as Simpson and her entourage were leaving L.A. eatery Madeo, they were mobbed by photographers. In the madness, one snapper hit Paves near his eye with a part of a camera, leaving him with blood trickling down his face. (Watch a video of the chaos).
Once Paves got in the car, Simpson’s driver took them to Cedar-Sinai hospital in West Hollywood, where she accompanied her friend inside the building. As of right now, no police reports have been filed.
While it’s no secret that the paparazzi go to great lengths to get photos of Hollywood stars, Ashley Tisdale wants the world to know that one actually broke into her house hoping to snap some photos.
“They broke in, they came into my home before,” the ‘High School Musical’ starlet said. Tisdale says the agencies and photographers “don’t want middle America to know this is what they do to try and get pictures.”
Tisdale says the photographer “broke in an entry and went into the hall and followed my stylist.” After a quick phone call, “The police were there and they [told me], ‘you could say it’s a robbery.’”
She goes on to say that she hasn’t seen that specific photographer again, but warns that “they go to an extreme for pictures.”
